Seeking anyone with knowledge of the Goeppner family entering the US through Jacksonville, Fla., in the 1800's--- I believe it would be Joseph Goeppner, before they changed the spelling to Goepner. Also, there was a Schmidt with Mr. Goepner, perhaps his wife. I believe they went to NY after entering. There are Goepners in NY, however, I've lost all paperwork in a fire, so Im starting again.
This man would be my great grandfather or grandfather... However, his daughter, or granddaughter used the name Smith... changed from Schmidt....
